We are asking for prayer.

Our Faithful Orange Cat, Tiggie, has been scratching his ears lately, keeping them flat and shaking his head constantly.This morning Bernie took him in to see the vet.It turns out that Tigs has a yeast infection in his ears.This is common in dogs; but not very common in cats.(If you have ever experienced any kind of yeast infection, I am sure you are really feeling for what Tigs is going through right now.)

Tiggie will need to have ear medicine squirted into his ears twice a day for the next six weeks.We know there are lots of people out there who believe in the power of prayer.So we are asking: Will you please say a prayer?For us that is.Tigs will be fine.Bernie and I will be the ones needing to wrestle Tigs and his flying dog fighting claws twice a day for six weeks.I think we will be needing all the prayer that we can get!

Yikes! this is serious stuff. I hope you can handle this...Isn't it wonderful that it does not matter what we come to the Father for? I heard you.We've had many pets in our family and it's important to be in tune.

You have a difficult task ahead of you! You will be in my prayers. Put on thick gloves and well-padded sleeves. And I pray you will be able to FIND Tiggie once he figures out what you are about to do! If only he knew that you are helping him heal...I wonder if this is how God feels about us sometimes?

I'm Jill. I'm a librarian and milliner now living in Salt Lake City with my husband of 37 years and my three shelter adopted cats. I'm 60, was born and expected I would spent my whole life in San Diego, save for two years in Corvallis Oregon in college.
Then beginning in 1997, right after our youngest graduated from high school my husband and I began "empty nesting" on the move. We lived one year in Almenden CA (San Jose area), two years in Dallas TX and eight years on Houston TX before moving Salt Lake City in the fall of 2008.
I love it here, but counting on Heaven being my ultimate hometown! I do hope we will one day be neighbors there?
I have two adult children; a daughter in San Diego and a son (and daughter-in-law) who also live in Salt Lake City; two beloved grandsons, and parents who were born and still live in San Diego, and who read my blog every day.
